On the energy gap determination of organic optoelectronic materials : the case of porphyrin derivatives
- 2022
-
In: Materials Advances. - : Royal Society of Chemistry. - 2633-5409. ; :3, s. 1791-1803
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The correct determination of the ionization potential (IP) and electron affinity (EA) as well as the energy gap is essential to properly characterize a series of key phenomena related to the applications of organic semiconductors. For example, energy offsets play an essential role in charge separation in organic photovoltaics. Yet there has been a lot of confusion involving the real physical meaning behind those quantities. Experimentally the energy gap can be measured by direct techniques such as UV-Vis absorption, or indirect techniques such as cyclic voltammetry (CV). Another spectroscopic method is the Reflection Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (REELS). Regarding data correlation, there is little consensus on how the REELS' energy gap can be interpreted in light of the energies obtained from other methodologies such as CV, UV-Vis, or photoemission. In addition, even data acquired using those traditional techniques has been misinterpreted or applied to derive conclusions beyond the limits imposed by the physics of the measurement. A similar situation also happens when different theoretical approaches are used to assess the energy gap or employed to explain outcomes from experiments. By using a set of porphyrin derivatives as model molecules, we discuss some key aspects of those important issues. The peculiar properties of these porphyrins demonstrate that even straightforward measurements or calculations performed in a group of very similar molecules need a careful interpretation of the outcomes. Differences up to 660 meV (similar to 190 meV) are found comparing REELS (electrochemical) measurements with UV-Vis energy gaps, for instance. From the theoretical point of view, a reasonable agreement with electrochemical measurements of the IP, EA, and the gap of the porphyrins is only obtained when the calculations involve the full thermodynamics of the redox processes. The purpose of this work is to shed light on the differences and similarities of those aforementioned characterization methods and provide some insight that might help one to develop a critical analysis of the different experimental and theoretical methodologies.

Psychic Distance, Innovation, and Firm Performance
- 2014
-
In: Management International Review. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 0938-8249 .- 1861-8901. ; 54:5, s. 581-613
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Previous research suggests that internationalization improves a firm's ability to innovate, but the effect of internationalizing into specific target markets or destinations on the innovation ability of firms has not been fully investigated. This study examined whether the psychic distance between target market and home market affects firms' propensity to innovate. The starting assumption was that perception of a high degree of differences and subsequent environmental uncertainty when expanding into psychically distant markets triggers strategies for interacting and integrating with the market environment. These include producing and adopting innovations to processes and products and to organizational strategy, structure, and administrative procedures to cope with the new environment and overcome uncertainties. These innovations and the associated competitive advantages can improve firm performance. Hypotheses regarding the relationships between psychic distance, innovation, and firm performance were tested here by structural equation modeling using data from 186 export ventures into 23 international markets by Swedish companies. The results indicate that the link between psychic distance and firm performance is mediated by innovation.

- 2016
-
In: 5th IEEE International Conference on High Voltage Engineering and Application, ICHVE 2016, Chengdu, China, 19-22 September 2016. - 9781509004966 ; 16, s. A-4-1-
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This work presents studies on electricalproperties of nanocomposites of low density polyethylene(LDPE) filled with graphene nanoplatelets (GnP) ofdifferent content. As compared to pure LDPE, significantreductions of the conductivity are found for the compositesat relatively low electric fields (below 20 kV/mm). Acrossover effect is however seen at higher fields (above 20kV/mm), where a strong field dependent non-linearbehavior dominates, yielding higher conduction currentsthat increase with increasing filler content. Results ofinvestigations of dielectric response confirm the differencesfound in polarization currents during the measurements ofdc conductivity.

Internationalising in small, incremental or larger steps?
- 2007
-
In: Journal of International Business Studies. - Basingstoke : Palgrave Macmillan. - 0047-2506 .- 1478-6990. ; 38:7, s. 1132-1148
-
Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We argue that companies may enter foreign environments either incrementally, as suggested by long-established theory, or by taking larger steps that may result in lower initial performance but, through learning and experience, lead to increased performance in future expansions. This idea is corroborated by the experience of Dutch companies entering into Central and Eastern Europe. We also find that expansion steps may be too large, thereby limiting the exploration of foreign environments. Our study suggests that sequential internationalisation strategies do still matter, and that companies have to balance exploitation and exploration in internationalisation.

High Level of Nonsynonymous Changes in Common Bean Suggests That Selection under Domestication Increased Functional Diversity at Target Traits
- 2017
-
In: Frontiers in Plant Science. - : Frontiers Media SA. - 1664-462X. ; 7
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Crop species have been deeply affected by the domestication process, and there have been many efforts to identify selection signatures at the genome level. This knowledge will help geneticists to better understand the evolution of organisms, and at the same time, help breeders to implement successful breeding strategies. Here, we focused on domestication in the Mesoamerican gene pool of Phaseolus vulgaris by sequencing 49 gene fragments from a sample of 45 P. vulgaris wild and domesticated accessions, and as controls, two accessions each of the closely related species Phaseolus coccineus and Phaseolus dumosus. An excess of nonsynonymous mutations within the domesticated germplasm was found. Our data suggest that the cost of domestication alone cannot explain fully this finding. Indeed, the significantly higher frequency of polymorphisms in the coding regions observed only in the domesticated plants (compared to noncoding regions), the fact that these mutations were mostly nonsynonymous and appear to be recently derived mutations, and the investigations into the functions of their relative genes (responses to biotic and abiotic stresses), support a scenario that involves new functional mutations selected for adaptation during domestication. Moreover, consistent with this hypothesis, selection analysis and the possibility to compare data obtained for the same genes in different studies of varying sizes, data types, and methodologies allowed us to identify four genes that were strongly selected during domestication. Each selection candidate is involved in plant resistance/tolerance to abiotic stresses, such as heat, drought, and salinity. Overall, our study suggests that domestication acted to increase functional diversity at target loci, which probably controlled traits related to expansion and adaptation to new agro-ecological growing conditions.

An attention-based view on managing information processing channels in organizations
- 2020
-
In: Scandinavian Journal of Management. - Oxford : Elsevier Ltd. - 0956-5221 .- 1873-3387. ; 36:2
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper investigates how information processing channels can be managed such that relevant and novel information about the environment is gathered despite attention biases of top managers and challenges to maintain motivation levels of information providers. We argue that organizations need open and transparent information processing channels, which make top managers accountable. Furthermore, middle managers dedicated to managing these channels who act as a bridge between the information providers and the top managers help to reduce the information overload for top managers. This increases the likelihood that top managers will take appropriate action on the information provided and give suitable feedback to the senders. Lastly, these actions will only be beneficial when they are aligned with company strategy and values.

Foreign Market Entry – Exploring and Exploiting Opportunities.
- 2012. - 3
-
In: Wiley Encyclopedia of Management, 3rd Edition: Volume International Management. - John Wiley & Sons : John Wiley & Sons.
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We examine the dynamic of exploitation and exploration in international networks for companies that enter new foreign markets. While exploitation is related to experiential learning in closed networks and incremental internationalization, exploration refers to disruptive learning in open networks and more risky international expansion. We illustrate exploitation and exploration in foreign market entry with a case description and conclude that the dynamic between these processes is in-built in market entry and the related changes of network structure.

The Future of Global Organizing How Subsidiaries Attempt to Direct HQ Attention to New Business Opportunities
- 2015
-
In: The Future of Global Organizing. - : Emerald Group Publishing Limited. - 9781785604232 ; , s. 151-175
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- PurposeWe examine how subsidiaries of multinational companies communicate with headquarters about business opportunities they perceive in their local environment. Our aim is to provide in-depth insights into how communication is used to attract the attention of headquarters.Methodology/approachWe study four communication processes of opportunities recognised by subsidiary managers in four different units within the same multinational corporation.FindingsWe find that communication is influenced by the subsidiaries’ perception of their relationship with headquarters. Importantly, we find that subsidiaries in emerging countries show different communication patterns than those in advanced markets. Our results further point out that multinationals from advanced countries face the challenge to respond to the increased salience of opportunities from emerging economies, while at the same time still working within existing communication patterns and structures that are not adapted to this new situation.Originality/valueOur study presents communication processes within multinationals beyond the frequency of communication, including a variety of aspects of communication. Doing so, we are able to point out that open communication is not achieved with all subsidiaries, and what is worse, seems most of all to be challenged for subsidiaries in emerging markets, risking promising business opportunities in these markets.

The internationalization processes of the firm: a new research agenda
- 2009
-
In: Research on Knowledge, Innovation and Internationalization. - Bingley : Emerald. - 9781848559561 ; , s. 3-20
-
Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- We examine the fundamental assumptions and features of the Uppsala model of internationalization and argue that we need to look beyond this model for studying internationalization processes in the multinational corporations (MNCs) of today. The purpose of our paper is to identify gaps and neglected issues regarding MNCs' internationalization processes that demand further theoretical and empirical study. Our approach is conceptual: based on the most cited model on internationalization, the Uppsala model, we approach the complex internationalization processes that continously go on in modern MNCs. We use related bodies of literature, on MNC structure and strategy, headquarters-subsidiary relationships, MNC subsidiary strategy development, and opportunity seeking and entrepreneurship, to fill in the gaps and develop the emerging research themes. We identify the following three issues that need further investigation: the opportunity recognition process preceding internationalization processes in MNCs, the internationalization of multiple products within the confines of the growing MNC, and the internationalization of foreign MNC units. In this paper, we open up new research fields but do not offer empirical stuydies to inform us about these relevant issues. Future research should study these issues empirically, preferably through case study methologies an/or with longitudinal designs. The contribution of our paper is its identification of three research issues in relation to internationalization processes of modern MNCs, which we argue are neglected by contemporary reseach.

Chinese outward foreign direct investments in Europe
- 2016
-
In: European Journal of International Management. - 1751-6757 .- 1751-6765. ; 10:3, s. 343-358
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper addresses Chinese outward foreign direct investments (OFDI) in Europe. We aim to provide more knowledge on the ongoing research discussion about Chinese OFDI, more specifically, we answer questions about what is driving Chinese firms to invest in Europe, and whether Chinese investment behaviour in Europe differs compared with their investments in other parts of the world. For our empirical study we use data from the 2012 statistical bulletin of Chinese OFDI, 20032012. Our results indicate that European countries generally receive lower levels of investment from Chinese firms compared with other regions of the world. We find, furthermore, that the main motives for Chinese investment in Europe are market seeking and strategic asset seeking, and that there are large differences among European countries in attracting Chinese investments.

The Impact of Psychic Distance on Chinese Outward Foreign Direct Investments
- 2013

In: Management International Review. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 0025-181X .- 0938-8249 .- 1861-8901. ; 53:5, s. 659-686
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim of this paper is to investigate the value of the well-known construct of psychic distance, developed to explain the internationalization path of firms from developed countries, for the internationalization of Chinese firms.Our research question is: Does psychic distance and its individual stimuli (differences in language, religion, culture, economic development, political systems, education, and geographic distance) explain Chinese investments abroad?We test hypotheses on the relation between psychic distance and its stimuli and Chinese outward direct investments with OLS regression analyses.We find that Chinese OFDI indeed is influenced by an aggregate construct of psychic distance and by certain psychic distance stimuli, but not by all; in particular, similarities or differences with regard to language and culture, the level of industrialization and the level of democracy relate to Chinese firms’ internationalization.Our findings suggest that psychic distance and its stimuli cannot be ignored as explanatory factors for Chinese outward FDI but that the explanatory value of these constructs depends on the context of the phenomenon under study.We conclude that it is important to understand how the home country context influences managerial perceptions and thereby patterns of international expansion from different regions.

Location of retroperitoneal lymph node metastases in upper tract urothelial carcinoma : results from a prospective lymph node mapping study
- 2023
-
In: European Urology Open Science. - : Elsevier. - 2666-1691 .- 2666-1683. ; 57, s. 37-44
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: There is limited information on the distribution of retroperitoneal lymph node metastases (LNMs) in upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).Objective: To investigate the location of LNMs in UTUC of the renal pelvis or proximal ureter and short-term complications after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) with lymph node dissection (LND).Design, setting, and participants: This was a prospective Nordic multicenter study (four university hospitals, two county hospitals). Patients with clinically suspected locally advanced UTUC (stage >T1) and/or clinical lymph node–positive (cN+) disease were invited to participate. Participants underwent RNU and fractionated retroperitoneal LND using predefined side-specific templates.Outcome measurements and statistical analysis: The location of LNMs in the LND specimen and retroperitoneal lymph node recurrences during follow-up was recorded. Postoperative complications within 90 d of surgery were ascertained from patient charts. Descriptive statistics were used.Results and limitations: LNMs were present in the LND specimen in 23/100 patients, and nine of 100 patients experienced a retroperitoneal recurrence. Distribution per side revealed LNMs in the LND specimen in 11/38 (29%) patients with right-sided tumors, for whom the anatomically larger, right-sided template was used, in comparison to 12/62 (19%) patients with left-sided tumors, for whom a more limited template was used. High-grade complications (Clavien grade ≥3) within 90 d of surgery were registered for 13/100 patients. The study is limited in size and not powered to assess survival estimates.Conclusions: The suggested templates that we prospectively applied for right-sided and left-sided LND in patients with advanced UTUC included the majority of LNMs. High-grade complications directly related to the LND part of the surgery were limited.Patient summary: This study describes the location of lymph node metastases in patients with cancer in the upper urinary tract who underwent surgery to remove the affected kidney and ureter. The results show that most metastases occur within the template maps for lymph node surgery that we investigated, and that this surgery can be performed with few severe complications.

Nontarget Analysis of Polluted Surface Waters in Bangladesh Using Open Science Workflows
- 2023
-
In: Environmental Science and Technology. - 0013-936X .- 1520-5851. ; 57:17, s. 6808-6824

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Nontarget mass spectrometry has great potential to reveal patterns of water contamination globally through community science, but few studies are conducted in low-income countries, nor with open-source workflows, and few datasets are FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). Water was collected from urban and rural rivers around Dhaka, Bangladesh, and analyzed by liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry in four ionization modes (electrospray ionization +/-, atmospheric pressure chemical ionization +/-) with data -independent MS2 acquisition. The acquisition strategy was complementary: 19,427 and 7365 features were unique to ESI and APCI, respectively. The complexity of water pollution was revealed by >26,000 unique molecular features resolved by MS-DIAL, among which >20,000 correlated with urban sources in Dhaka. A major wastewater treatment plant was not a dominant pollution source, consistent with major contributions from uncontrolled urban drainage, a result that encourages development of further wastewater infrastructures. Matching of deconvoluted MS2 spectra to public libraries resulted in 62 confident annotations (i.e., Level 1-2a) and allowed semiquantification of 42 analytes including pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and personal care products. In silico structure prediction for the top 100 unknown molecular features associated with an urban source allowed 15 additional chemicals of anthropogenic origin to be annotated (i.e., Level 3). The authentic MS2 spectra were uploaded to MassBank Europe, mass spectral data were openly shared on the MassIVE repository, a tool (i.e., MASST) that could be used for community science environmental surveillance was demonstrated, and current limitations were discussed.

Genus-wide genomic characterization of Macrococcus : insights into evolution, population structure, and functional potential
- 2023
-
In: Frontiers in Microbiology. - : Frontiers Media S.A.. - 1664-302X. ; 14
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Introduction: Macrococcus species have been isolated from a range of mammals and mammal-derived food products. While they are largely considered to be animal commensals, Macrococcus spp. can be opportunistic pathogens in both veterinary and human clinical settings. This study aimed to provide insight into the evolution, population structure, and functional potential of the Macrococcus genus, with an emphasis on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and virulence potential.Methods: All high-quality, publicly available Macrococcus genomes (n = 104, accessed 27 August 2022), plus six South African genomes sequenced here (two strains from bovine clinical mastitis cases and four strains from beef products), underwent taxonomic assignment (using four different approaches), AMR determinant detection (via AMRFinderPlus), and virulence factor detection (using DIAMOND and the core Virulence Factor Database).Results: Overall, the 110 Macrococcus genomes were of animal commensal, veterinary clinical, food-associated (including food spoilage), and environmental origins; five genomes (4.5%) originated from human clinical cases. Notably, none of the taxonomic assignment methods produced identical results, highlighting the potential for Macrococcus species misidentifications. The most common predicted antimicrobial classes associated with AMR determinants identified across Macrococcus included macrolides, beta-lactams, and aminoglycosides (n = 81, 61, and 44 of 110 genomes; 73.6, 55.5, and 40.0%, respectively). Genes showing homology to Staphylococcus aureus exoenzyme aureolysin were detected across multiple species (using 90% coverage, n = 40 and 77 genomes harboring aureolysin-like genes at 60 and 40% amino acid [AA] identity, respectively). S. aureus Panton-Valentine leucocidin toxin-associated lukF-PV and lukS-PV homologs were identified in eight M. canis genomes (≥40% AA identity, >85% coverage). Using a method that delineates populations using recent gene flow (PopCOGenT), two species (M. caseolyticus and M. armenti) were composed of multiple within-species populations. Notably, M. armenti was partitioned into two populations, which differed in functional potential (e.g., one harbored beta-lactamase family, type II toxin-antitoxin system, and stress response proteins, while the other possessed a Type VII secretion system; PopCOGenT p < 0.05).Discussion: Overall, this study leverages all publicly available Macrococcus genomes in addition to newly sequenced genomes from South Africa to identify genomic elements associated with AMR or virulence potential, which can be queried in future experiments.
